Middle Eastern Taco Salad

While I spend most of my breakfast money at Europa Cafe, I spend the majority of my lunch money at a falafel stand in front of CBS. I discovered this stand when was standing outside waiting for NPH to walk by (or any cast member from "How I Met Your Mother" for that matter). I recently learned they film in Los Angeles... fuckers.

As security was escorting me off the premises I noticed this little hot cart outside. They had rice bowls, so I tried one. Basically the rice bowl consists of: rice, lettuce, lamb/chicken, white sauce, red (hot) sauce, and one falafel "nugget." I've been eating these everyday and I'm just waiting for the day when I can't climb my fat ass down the tiny ladder of my bunk... I mean loft bed.

But what really drives me crazy, what really just Ps me O is that damn falafel nugget! If I wanted it, I would ask for it. And what's the point? Just to show you what you could be eating? And it's always there, in your way, dodging in front of your fork when you're trying to get lamb, or chicken, or rice, or lettuce covered in white and red sauces. Here's the other thing: I hate mayonnaise. Can't stand it. I just hope to God that this Middle Eastern white sauce doesn't have mayo, or I will freak. the fuck. out.

Basically I've deluded myself into thinking that since it has rice it's good for me, and that it's better than paying $9.00 for a salad, or $14.00 for a burger, or waiting in line at Chipotle for 2 hours.

Editorial Note: Cans of Pepsi products in New York read "New York" on them. Have you ever seen this anywhere else? The cans of Mountain Dew in Seattle don't read "Seattle"... they just have giant pictures of Ichiro on them. But that's normal, right?
